Laura and Luke's beautiful Woodlands wedding

It was a beautiful day on Saturday at Woodlands for Laura and Luke's wedding...and it was a beautiful wedding.

Laura and her bridesmaids got ready at Woodlands and the high windows allowed them to keep an eye on everyone's coming and going. Laura and Luke had decided to do a 'first look' and all the bridal party photographs before the ceremony...

I love this shot of Laura about to head down the stairs...I love the combination of rushing and calm in one image...and isn't that just how it sometimes is on a wedding day?

about that first look...I love love love first looks...so much emotion...

so much luuurve...

and some fun with helium balloons...

and then it was off to the ceremony. Their celebrant was the fabulous Pam Bayes. I have learned over the years not to wear mascara when Pam is the celebrant - she creates the most lovely, emotional ceremonies.

One of the things I really noticed was how much family support these two have, all their respective parents get on so well that apparently they now all holiday together! And they couldn't be happier about their kids getting hitched. Here are the mums making a bee-line for Laura right after the ceremony...

Check out that crowd of well-wishers in the group photo...

Congratulations Lauke and Laura...it was an awesome day and we were homoured to be a part of it!
